In the triggered modes, the [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]]-based triggering is rated to work to 20 MHz.
In the triggered modes, the [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]]-based triggering is rated to work to 20 MHz.
The vertical bandwidth of typical 560-series (non-sampling) scopes is about 10 MHz, so 20 MHz is adequate.   
The vertical bandwidth of typical 560-series (non-sampling) scopes is about 10 MHz, so 20 MHz is adequate.   
Triggering is done with a [[TD3A]] 4.7 mA tunnel diode.
The trigger input is amplified and buffered by a [[6DJ8]]-based differential amplifier driving a common-emitter
[[2N964]] germanium PNP transistor whose collector current switches the tunnel diode.
The [[283]] Real Time adapter enables real-time sweeps with a 3B4.
